OP in my opinion:
I don't think this post is encouraging people here, but rather discouraging many.
There is a popular say that "a journey of greatness begins with a step" Moreover, all private schools are not the same as u may think, and you and the employee don't av dsame thought, challenges and plans. There are some people who are ready to take this job for 5,000. Not bcuz dey like it, but bcuz they av no option. Or would you advice that fellow to go and steal or bcom a kidnapper to earn huge some in a way that endanger his life, and d society at large.
Please i would rather you title the topic "8 challenges facing some private school job teaching job today."
Thank you.

Uhmm, I have heard of a private school that didn't provide chair for their teachers in class. You have to stand and be going through pupils work.


Immediately you stepped in the school compound, you don't have access to the gate till closing.
Poor man dey suffer for naija

Guess that's what's killing the youths of this country. The Op definitely has a lazy mentality. So u think the points you brought up are enough to tell someone not to work in a private school? Oya go look for job in public school na if them go employ u.
Based on experience, working in a private school hands u a flexible time where u can still do ur own stuffs.
U can work part-time in different schools and still earn what all those banks dey pay their employees if u add up all incomes earned (if u're looking at it from a financial point of view)... But truth be told, the main reason why you (op) brought up this reasons is because u aint an educationist. Try setting up ur own private schools and come back here to tell me how easy it is to run it.

Sorry to ask, have you ever taught in a school before? And you talk about part time teaching, have you done that too? How many schools did you teach if u have done it before? Being a Teacher is one of the most tedious jobs in nigeria! And the benefit that comes with it is nothing to write home about! Writer I feel ur pain 100%

very true @op. but it depends on the private school and the fees the students pay. where i served, the teachers are paid peanuts, and they don't even pay on time.

A man was wandering around a carnival and he happened to see a fortuneteller’s tent. Thinking it
would be good for a laugh, he went inside and sat down.
“Ah...” said the woman as she gazed into her crystal ball. “I see you are the father of two children.”
“That’s what you think,” said the man scornfully. “I’m the father of THREE children.”
The woman grinned and said, “That’s what YOU think!”

Simply nothing but the truth. I experienced these. Thou it's not all that pay poor salaries. Their general problem is the excess work load on the teacher and time consuming. You are expected to be in school from 7am to 4 or 5pm. One of the reasons I rejected several private school offers my aunty got for me after my NYSC even thou they were paying better than the tertiary institution I am now and I know the owners but my dear,nothing better than freedom. They don't even care about your health and if you say you went to the hospital,you must submit your doctor's report. Or is it the the insult you receive from parents. I resigned from one of the schools after I angrily slapped a very stup!d woman who slapped a male teacher in front of the pupils and the teacher is a very gentle guy,a pastor...
But it's better than staying idle.

@OP please start a school and pay graduates 120k. You talked as if there are no benefits to the teachers. Many schools cut up to 50% tuition for teachers that are parents. The fact that you close early too allows you to do PP . . . . .

Judging from comments here, NL is filled with unexposed people sha. Some people don't just go out at all.

OP is a chronic dullard.

People like you would prefer earning N50,000 monthly while you spend N30,000 on transport and medications.

Some of those teachers have alternative earnings. Most spend N0.00 on transport.

Everybody love juicy figures, but it wont come easy to all; stop discouraging the young minds. You also need to quit the hasty generalisation as most private secondary schools in Lagos pay more than your estimate.

Oga abeg mention 20 schools in lagos that pays above 30k.

No, you are not entirely right. I teach in a private school and My experience is different. First of all, if you teach in a school where a child's school fees is #5000 or there about, it's not feasible to get a pay above #9000. I guess u know why.

I teach in a private school where their fees is #180,000 for day-students and much more for boarders. So you see my salary is okay compared to my needs. I get some experiences which is the inspiration behind my working there. Stop the single story.

It's surprising, really. I know a school where car loans are usually dolled out to staff, with very flexible repayment timeline. Also, staff are sent for trainings within the country where they go by flights and abroad as well. Also, no staff's salary starts below 50k(for new staff). Their teachers drive very good cars and are well off. Staff are served breakfast and sometimes lunch in school.

Allow these ignorant ones to be posting trash here. Indeed, people perish for lack of knowledge.

For this sole reason, your post is incomplete.

If you teaching where you are paid 20k or less, my brother know that your school is a mushroom school or you were never qualified to teach in the first place.
No, B.A(Ed) or B.sc(Ed) will accept to teach with that ridiculous price. Infact an N.C.E or T.C. 11 won't accept it, cos they know they are hot cakes in the educational sector.
So, leave teaching for teachers.

Please remind me of the cut off marks for education courses and why you chose to embarras yourself with this lie from the pit of hell on this first day of a brand new week? angry

OP is absolutely correct! His/her submissions are true.I have had opportunities of teaching in both mushrooms and big schools so I can categorically confirm Op's claims.Even if you earn as much as 200k, muse over it, do you see yourself becoming a director in such school in another 10 years?Never! In fact when I quitted from one of the big schools in Lekki to further my studies, most of my colleagues were trying to persuade me to stay.Today, I am happy where I am and most of them are envious of me.If at all I will teach,then I will proceed with my higher degree(PhD) and then become a lecturer. I would never advise my enemy to teach in Private schools.Most of them subject their Staff to modern slavery.#Truth is bitter.
